Day Seventeen

My third day of rest found me sitting in a car for several hours as I drove north. Sitting for long periods of time has been a source of discomfort since the injury. I found this drive to be relatively pain free. As long as I sat with good posture in the car I was able to avoid the inevitable back pain that has plagued me since the injury. It is almost like all of these muscle groups are tied together. Weird, I know. Thank goodness I drive a German car so there is room for my freakishly long torso to sit fully upright without banging my head into the ceiling. It occurs to me that this far into the bomb I was hoping to have made noticeable strides towards health but I suppose that it was an unrealistic expectation. The general rule of thumb is that it takes you twice as long to heal as you nursed the injury. Too bad I cannot continue this yoga pace for the next 3 years. Regardless I feel I have made important strides towards recovery by cleverly clearing out all that scar tissue in the lower abdomen. And by cleverly I mean painfully. Oh well.
